One Year Pledge to successful Quit


bakon

Recommended Posts

Being on the train is good for your quit. I believe that posting and reading how others go through the stages and list reasons they quit helped me. I would recommend everyone post at least one word to the board each day the first year.

The year mark is past the hard part, but it's the big goal. I see most quiters fail in the first year but after a year the failure rate has to be less than the people on Jimmy's bus.

Even my pea brain understands the reasons first year has most fails. So to battle the pitfalls I challenge you to post one word here a day for year. Just HI is enough. Or Good Job to anyone. The act of checking in will make you see the struggle and reinforce the quit you are building. The more blocks you add to your quit, the thicker and higher the wall against failing.

 

So hit someone's thread after making the pledge to give yourself a year hanging out with the knuckleheads, cat owners, Window lickers and flip flop wearing people here. All have the same goal...staying quit.

This isn't necessary for all the cat people.

 

But the fails I have observed happen 99 percent of the time in first year and person usually pulls away from board.

 

Not saying you won't make it without, but better chases if you stay active.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
